Maine Yoga Festival features local music, food and vendors throughout the weekend. Taught by local and New England teachers, we gather to practice together and celebrate all that yoga is and does for us, physically, mentally and spiritually! Experience a weekend of community! Plug into this amazing yoga community, meet new teachers and fellow yogis, try a new yoga style, listen to live music, and explore all that our vendors and sponsors have to offer in our vendor and healing village. It's a festival!

We encourage green living practices in our community by promoting recycling, discouraging wastefulness and showcasing the natural setting of Maine. At Maine Yoga Festival you learn, you grow, you fill your cup, and with that new knowledge and full cup maybe life gets a little easier to navigate, compassion for yourself and others is more readily accessible. We want to help foster that sense of community by connecting you to studios, resources, trainings, and more. The festival is only one weekend, but our intent is to plug you into a community that can carry you all year long.

A MOMENT IN THE SUN

In April 2024, Houlton, Maine - a town of 6,000 - was the final destination in the United States to see the 2024 total solar eclipse, and the people of Houlton expected tens of thousands of visitors to descend upon their home to witness this once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event. Filmmakers Mia Weinberger and Thomas van Kalken captured the community of Houlton as they came together to host an influx of strangers and celebrate an incredibly rare privilege: living in the Path Of Totality.
